Former Cicero Town Supervisor discontinues website

Town of Cicero, NY -- Former Cicero Town Supervisor Roy Mallette is logging off his role as a watchdog over the town to take care of his health.

Mallette started a website, www.ciceronetnews.com, eight years ago to inform residents of what was happening in their local government. His website features a final message to his followers. Mallette makes one last plea for residents to attend meetings and get involved.

Mallette, who served as Cicero supervisor from 1970 to 1972 and 1986 to 1992, frequently attends town board meetings and has been critical of some board decisions. He even sued the town over zoning matters in his neighborhood.

In an e-mail, Mallette, 83, said he spent a week in the hospital and a few more in rehab and he expects to back to good health soon.
